The proposed program will research the integrated design of electrical energy conversion systems. The research scope will include the integration of power electronics with electrical machines, design of electrical machines with consideration of electrical system requirements and interfacing of renewable energy technologies with the grid. A key aim of the program is to investigate overall gains that may be achieved when considering an integrated design, rather focus on the individual components. While overall system design may be common in e.g. automotive electrical systems, there is still a tendency to design systems as the sum of discrete components. For example, electric motors are manufactured and deployed with relatively low power factor and large inrush currents; end users then try to mitigate these effects with other equipment such as reactive power compensators or soft starters. A better approach may be to consider how to build machine that can mitigate these issues through design. The research program has three focal areas: (1) novel electric machines (2) power electronic integration in variable speed drives (3) fundamental research on modeling and understanding the efficiency implications when power electronic circuits are integrated with power magnetics. Benefit to industry will be felt through knowledge and personnel. The program will train research and undergraduate students in areas of critical importance. The shortage of skilled engineers in the electrical industry is well publicized through the electricity council. Working on theory and hardware implementation, trainees from the group have a skill set that is highly valued by industry. In an industrially focused research area, many of the benefits to industry also positively impact researchers in the field. Research of new integrated power electronic and machine combinations provides stimulus to alternative thinking about better ways to achieve the common goals of better performance at lower cost. The research will develop new machine-drive topologies, further the integration of power electronics with machines and enhance the understanding of the impacts of power electronics on magnetic devices. Integrated modular design, combining modularity of power electronics with modular machine construction will offers the possibility for significant cost savings in the manufacturing process.

拟议的计划将研究电能转换系统的综合设计。研究范围将包括将电力电子与电机的整合，考虑电气系统要求的电机设计以及可再生能源技术与网格的接口。该计划的关键目的是研究考虑集成设计时可能会取得的总体收益，而不是集中在各个组件上。虽然整体系统设计可能很常见，例如汽车电气系统仍然存在将系统设计为离散组件之和的趋势。例如，电动机以相对较低的功率因数和较大的冲洗电流制造和部署；然后，最终用户尝试使用其他设备（例如反应性电源补偿器或软启动器）来减轻这些效果。更好的方法可能是考虑如何构建可以通过设计来减轻这些问题的机器。该研究计划具有三个焦点区域：（1）新型电机（2）可变速度驱动器中的电力电子集成（3）建模和理解电源电路与电力磁化器集成时的效率含义的基本研究。 通过知识和人员将感受到对工业的好处。该计划将在至关重要的领域培训研究和本科生。电力委员会很好地宣传了电气行业中熟练的工程师的短缺。该小组的学员在理论和硬件实施方面工作，具有行业高度重视的技能。 在以工业为本的研究领域中，对工业的许多好处也对该领域的研究人员产生积极影响。对新的集成电力电子和机器组合的研究为替代思考的替代方法提供了刺激，以实现更好的绩效目标，以较低的成本实现更好的性能。 这项研究将开发新的机器驱动拓扑，进一步将电源电子产品与机器的整合在一起，并增强对电力电子对磁性设备的影响的理解。集成的模块化设计，将电力电子的模块化与模块化机器结合结合在一起，将为制造过程中的成本节省大量提供。
